Muhyiddin's bid for passport release fixed for Nov 23


PETALING JAYA: The Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court has fixed Nov 23 to hear the application of Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin to have his passport released to him permanently.

This date was fixed by Judge Azura Alwi after objections were raised by the prosecution on Wednesday (Oct 25).

In proceedings, Deputy Public Prosecutor Nor Asma Ahmad told the court that more time is needed to respond to Muhyiddin's application.

She added that notice of the application was served to the prosecution on Oct 17 and said that two weeks would be needed to file their affidavit in response.

In March, Muhyiddin - who is facing four counts of abuse of power amounting to RM232.5mil and two counts of money laundering involving RM195mil - was released on bail of RM2mil with two sureties.

The prosecution team had proposed bail of RM2mil with two sureties and an additional condition that the accused surrender his passport to the court and this was not objected to by Muhyiddin's lawyer Datuk K. Kumaraendran.
